Not at all an issue, My previous Advan rg2s were 17 x 9.5 with a 20 offset in the rear with the 255/40 tires cleared the rear with a roll and I was running +25 in the front with the same size tire, but i did have to slightly pull the fronts a little bit but nothing that a good eastwood fender roller cant accomplish.
car is looking sick btw!

I actually got a sweet deal on it. It was the find of the century for me, brand new APR GTC-300 Full carbon meant for a late model supra for $500 lol. I autocross more than I do full circuit but this year Im going to try more of it. I actually dont drive around with it on lol, only when competing. Too much heat
Thats the only wing i would put on my FD even if i dont track my car.

did you have any fitment issues? f#@k i'd run 12's in the front if i could, the only thing is i dont want no rubbing. I have stock suspention so the car isent lowered, what is the widest i can get away with ? I would rather have 9.5 in the front with 10.5 in the rear but i dont want issues. I have a 5mm spacer on the back already. i want a fat lip, so i need a good set up, the 9.5 all around sounds good

If you have stock suspension that means your car is somewhat high, what size of wheels are you getting? 17? 18? 19? i would recommend you to look at the parts forum here and maybe pick up a nice cheap used set of lowering springs before you get wheels, cause im sure you will not like the way non stock wheels will look with stock suspension, but again is your car and your money.
If you get 9.5+35 all around you will be fine with the stock suspension for now, whenever you lower your car you will need to roll the inner lip a bit only, not really big deal and also it will depend on how low you will lower your car. The lip i had on my 19s was 3.25 inches not deep not flat, it was decent.
Im gonna look for a pic of mine with them on and will upload it in a bit. Just so you get the idea

As promised.
Here are a couple of pics when i my setup was 19x9.5+35 all around keep in mind that here my car was lowered almost to the max with coilovers (ksport kontrol pro) and all what was done to the fender was rolled the inside lip a bit over half way.
Also to give you and idea of how a 3.25 inch lip looks like.

thats huge!!lol sick man did you have to do much to get thos to fit. Im just being modest with the width of the rim for now. I do want to lower the car i just dont want a harder ride then what it's got now. Just woundering if a different suspention type will affect the driving comfort. Is there softer aftermarket suspention that will lower the car and keep it decent for not so perfect roads. I use the car on weekends and time to time during the week. I take it to autocross every 2ed week usually just for fun. If i could have 19'' that would be awsome. I know i want at lease a 275 tire in the rear.
